Theresa May said politicians had to be 'honest' that the only way to guarantee the UK will not crash out was passing her deal, or revoking Article 50. She also dismissed calls for the Brexit date to be delayed, and said she believed there was no majority in the Commons for a second referendum - insisting Remainers will have to 'think again' if she is right. Instead Mrs May stressed she was determined to win fresh concessions from the EU that can secure support for her deal from MPs. The defiant message came as Mrs May unveiled her Brexit 'Plan B' in a Commons statement. The PM has been scrambling to find a way through after her deal was humiliatingly crushed in the Commons last week. But in a statement to MPs this afternoon Mrs May suggested rather than focus on forging a cross-party consensus she will attempt to bring Brexiteer rebels and the DUP back onside.

A man stabbed in an attempted car-jacking near Kew Gardens, south-west London, has been named as Eric Salama (left), a top business executive and adviser to the Government from 2013 to 2017. Eric Salama was attacked by a knife wielding assailant as he walked back to his car on Sunday morning (pictured, forensics officers at the scene, right). The 57-year-old saw the thief sat in his car and confronted him, asking: 'What are you doing?' The thug then plunged a 'large knife' into Mr Salama's chest. Mr Salama is the CEO of KantarTNS, the consumer insight division of WPP - the largest marketing firm in the world. He was tipped to replace Sir Martin Stuart Sorrell, who founded WPP.

Stephanie Scolaro (pictured at court last month, right; and in a modelling picture, centre), 26, sold snakeskin baseball caps and bags via her website 'SS Python' as well as her Instagram account, which has 85,000 followers. The swimwear model daughter of an Italian mining tycoon father and a British mother also sold some of the £450 baseball caps with a boutique in Mayfair. Scolaro, who lives in a luxury flat in Marylebone, ordered the baseball caps and a travel bag from Indonesia (left), some of which she then sold in the UK to her network of wealthy customers. But today she was sentenced to community service at Southwark Crown Court, having admitted two counts of importing goods with the intent to evade a prohibition, two counts of keeping for sale a species acquired unlawfully and one count of selling a species unlawfully imported between 2016 and 2017.

He has now lost his childhood sweetheart and beloved baby boy (together left) in the collision. The police investigation is ongoing and the driver of the car is co-operating with police.

Ms Abbott said of her many visits to Question Time she has 'never had such a horrible experience' as when she did with Fiona Bruce at the helm in Derby, last week. Ms Abbott compared the presenter to the likes of the BBC's Andrew Neil who is 'supremely well briefed' and has always read 'every poll finding, every blog, every newspaper' before his shows. Five members of the studio audience publicly accused the presenter of making an 'inappropriate' joke before the programme on Thursday night. The BBC has fiercely defended its new presenter.

Emma Fairweather, speaking on ITV's This Morning, (main) replied 'absolutely' when asked if Prince Philip should face legal action if found to be in the wrong in relation to the crash near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. 'There needs to be a decision as to whether Prince Philip and I are from the same walk of life here or not. His treatment hasn't been the same as mine,' she said. The crash victim also branded Philip 'highly insensitive and inconsiderate' after he was spotted driving while not wearing a seatbelt on Sunday (top left). Pictured (top right), the crash site.

The Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, central London, has been covered with white paint overnight (main picture) and CCTV of the incident has already been handed to Scotland Yard. Wreaths left for the dead and a photograph of airman Stanley Forsyth, who died recently aged 98, have also been splattered with paint. The bronze sculpture, built to remember the 55,573 men of Bomber Command who never came home, has been badly damaged at least four times since the £7million monument was opened by the Queen in June 2012. The Met also revealed today that the same vandals have targeted the statue of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt on nearby New Bond Street (top right). Vernon Morgan, 97, (bottom right with Prince William) who flew Lancaster bombers in the Second World War, told MailOnline today: 'It's a disgrace. One wonders what motivates such things, when all they did was their duty helping this country in a war. The monument is recognition of 55,000 people who lost their lives to help defeat the Nazis'.

The identities and relationships of the British travelers who have sparked uproar in New Zealand can be revealed for the first time. The matriarch of the unruly clan being hunted by outraged Facebook vigilantes is understood to be grandmother Barbara Doran, 55. Mrs Doran said she is too scared to sleep at night. The family feel they are being 'tortured' by the public and insist they have done nothing wrong. 'I'm very, very frightened, honestly,' Mrs Doran said. Members of the clan, estimated to number about 15, are believed to have arrived in the country's North Island to 'see the Hobbits' weeks ago. Since then, they have been at the centre of claims members have scammed restaurants, trashing beaches, motel rooms and apartments and swore at locals. Top right: her son Joe Doran, also known as John Johnson. Bottom right: service station thief Tina Marie Cash and family.

Royal wedding make-up artist Daniel Martin (inset) shared a photo of the unusual afternoon tea served by the Duchess of Sussex (right) at a royal residence, believed to be Kensington Palace, over the weekend. The pair enjoyed black tea, Fortnum and Mason 'Sandringham' coffee truffles and avocado toast served on a silver plate (left). Daniel described his long-time friend as the 'consummate hostess (inset top) in the accompanying caption.

Skygazers in parts of the UK lucky enough to be under clear skies have been treated to the astronomical spectacle of a 'super blood wolf moon'. The rare phenomenon, caused in part by a lunar eclipse, makes the surface of the moon appear a reddish hue while seeming brighter and closer to earth than normal. Catching a glimpse of the curiously-titled event will be down to luck for those wrapping up and heading out early, as many parts of the country were covered by cloud this morning. A super blood wolf moon occurs when as a blood moon and supermoon occur simultaneously and was best seen from the UK at around 5.10am – providing clouds did not obstruct the view.

Lionel Richie's son was cautioned by police after telling airport security staff he had a bomb in his bag which he would detonate on a plane. Miles 'Milo' Brockman Richie, 24, who is a model, also hit a security guard in the incident at London Heathrow Airport's Terminal Five on Saturday morning. Scotland Yard officers said a man had accepted a caution for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery, but did not confirm it was Richie. According to witnesses, Mr Richie became irate after being denied onto a flight - and claimed he would detonate a bomb on board if he was not allowed on. Mr Richie then punched one of the members of staff before being detained by police. He has since been released.

He once vowed to live in the Essex mansion for the rest of his life, yet in July 2016 Rod Stewart (top-left) put his home of 30 years up for sale with a whacking price tag of £7.5 million. Last year Rod and wife Penny Lancaster, who are selling up to move closer to their sons’ school, dropped the price even further — to £4,725,000. Even the prospect of cooking in the Queen of Baking’s kitchen has not tempted anyone to part with the £4 million Mary Berry (top-right) first asked for her Grade II-listed Buckinghamshire home in 2017. After more than three years on the market, actor Tom Conti (bottom-left) finally sold his massive house — to director Tim Burton — this month, but not before dropping the price by an astonishing £6.5 million. Zayn Malik (bottom-right) sought sanctuary in this five-bedroom house when he broke fans’ hearts and left One Direction in 2015, but the pop star can’t hide from London’s falling house prices.

Matthew Pelly, 41, (top left and right) who made films for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, was found by a dog walker in the grounds of St John the Baptist Church (inset) in Ebbesbourne Wake, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. An inquest, which has been opened and adjourned, heard he was 'barely breathing' when he was discovered on December 29, and he was flown by air ambulance to Southampton General Hospital, but died later that day. Mr Pelly, who lives in London, had been staying with his family who live just yards from the church at the time of his death. His father Hugh Pelly, a retired GP, was yesterday too grief stricken to talk about his death, but said he believed he was filming from the top of the tower. Ebbesbourne Wake Parish Council Chair Janine Hillary said 'he was filming the dawn' when he fell. The inquest in Salisbury was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

The victim, who is in his 50s, was knifed near Kew Gardens Underground station in the upscale London suburb just before 8am this morning. Witnesses said the man was attacked on the way to his car after buying a coffee, leaving the street covered in blood. The man was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition after the stabbing, police said. Cafe worker Gino Gashi has told how the man collapsed outside the cafe he works at. He said that the man was stabbed 'inches from his heart' and is 'lucky to be alive'. Mr Gashi and other cafe workers helped stem the blood with bandages, he said.One shop owner said: 'The chap had ought a coffee and he walked around the corner, then someone heard screaming and he came stumbling back just past our shop and into the coffee shop'. Witnesses said a car had been lifted away by crane. Another local resident said there was a 'kitchen knife in the middle of the road and blood'. Police have cordoned off the scene (pictured top and bottom) on the corner of the street as forensic investigators gather evidence.

The startling images show the afternoon sun bursting through trees next to the A149 in Norfolk (pictured), where on Thursday the Duke of Edinburgh was involved in a crash with a car containing two women and a baby. The accident happened as Philip pulled out of a side road on to the 60mph limit road. His Land Rover collided with a Kia car, sending his vehicle tumbling across the road where it ended up on its side (inset right). Soon after, witness Roy Warne, 75, claimed the Prince had told his wife that he had been 'dazzled by the sun' in the moments leading up to the crash (inset left). But Emma Fairweather, 46, who was a passenger in the Kia involved in the collision, claims the weather was not as the Prince reportedly described.

The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, 37, was left feeling 'isolated and alone' by cruel comments online and reportedly closed the secret Instagram account before Christmas to 'protect her mental health'.

Stephen West (pictured left at Worcester Crown Court in 2004) said his mother Rose West (pictured right with her fellow serial killer husband Fred) had tried to get him a longer prison sentence when he was tried and convicted of having sex with an underage girl. He said his mother had written a letter to the court saying Stephen was a 'danger to everyone' and should be 'locked up forever' but that the judge had thrown the letter away. Now 45, he has spoken in public for the first time in 20 years as part of a new book about the notorious couple who killed and tortured women at their Gloucester home.

Theresa May (left attending church today) is finalising her Plan B for Brexit tonight as her Trade Secretary warned Remain MPs they cannot 'hijack' Parliament to 'steal' the 2016 referendum result. The Prime Minister has spoken to her Cabinet by conference call as she prepares for a crucial day tomorrow when she must set out her next steps. Because her Brexit deal was crushed by 230 votes on Tuesday Mrs May must now table a new motion in Parliament - and MPs can attempt to re-write the plans. It means tomorrow's move by the PM will set the stage for a new showdown in the Commons on January 29 when MPs will vote on a series of Brexit plans. One possible that emerged today was a bilateral treaty with Ireland about keeping open the Irish border - intended to replace the backstop plan in the current divorce deal loathed by Brexiteers. Dublin has already said no. The procedural manoeuvres prompted Liam Fox (right on Marr today) to warn the rebels against any attempt to 'hijack the Brexit process'.

Patients have returned with serious health problems including HIV and at least one has died from complications caused by the poor treatment overseas. Many are driven to use the booming £1billion global transplant tourism trade because of the shortage of available organs in the UK. There are 5,000 people on the waiting list for a new kidney and one patient dies a day during the average three-year wait. British salesman Asif Chohan (top right) died after contracting hepatitis C while trying to buy a kidney in Pakistan for £20,000. Bottom right: Niroz Sunar was left in a wheelchair for life after selling one of his kidneys. Main: Prem Bajgai (pictured with his wife inset) is a giant in the global organ trafficking trade.

Paige Milian (left), 23, had returned from a shopping trip to find a man in their £3million mansion in Cheshire. A window was smashed in the back of the house and the thief is said to have fled with valuables. Raheem, 23, was away with his club Manchester City when the break-in took place, according to the Sun on Sunday. Luckily Paige was not hurt in the break-in, but it prompted Raheem to splash out £15,000 on a rottweiler guard dog named Okan (right).

Forty-five years on, catchphrases including 'Shuutt up!!' and 'Oh dear. How sad' are forever etched in the memories of fans of 'the BBC's most non-PC comedy'. It was first broadcast in BBC One in 1974 and ran over 56 episodes before ending in 1981. But what did some of its brightest stars go on to do and where are they now? Pictured: Melvyn Hayes as Bombardier 'Gloria' Beaumon (1); Michael Bates as Rangi Ram (2); Windsor Davies, who passed away last week, as Battery Sergeant-Major 'Shut Up' Williams (3); and Don Estelle as Gunner 'Lofty' Sugden (4).

The thug (main picture) threatened a shop assistant with the weapon before stealing cash and tobacco products from the Co-op in Yeovil, Somerset, on Thursday night (pictured inset). The attacker then ran from the store and got into a dark-coloured vehicle, which drove off in the direction of the village of Mudford. Detective Inspector Glen Boxer, who is leading the investigation, said police are following up several possible leads.

As the footage begins the girl emerges from behind queuing traffic as she crosses the opposite side of the road slowly wandering into the path of the bus. The driver slammed on the brakes and four-seconds later the bus that was travelling at 40 kmph came to a stop and the girl briefly disappears from view. The dramatic incident happened on Thursday at 3.49pm on Didsbury Road in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Sharon Fox, 53, and her daughter Lauren, 24, from Brandon, County Durham, thought their cat Sidney had been hit by a car and dumped in landfill in 2016. Three years later they got a call saying he was alive.

More than 100 migrants including a pregnant woman and a two-month-old baby were feared dead last night after their flimsy inflatable rubber dinghy capsized in the Mediterranean. According to three survivors who were rescued 40 miles off the Libyan coast, 120 migrants in total had set off from the village of Garabulli, near Tripoli, on Thursday night.

Tens of thousands of protesters clashed with riot police in Athens (pictured) today, during demonstrations against a controversial name change deal with neighbours Macedonia. The deal, which the Greek parliament is due to ratify in days, will see Greece's neighbour be renamed the Republic of North Macedonia, following a 28-year dispute. However, many believe the deal has too many concessions and at least 60,000 protesters (bottom left) descended on Athens to express their anger.
